Guild Wars 2

This is a conversation I had with myself; (Yes I am slightly off my rockers. No need to ask.)

Me 1; “What if Anet brought back hero battles and sold heroes on the gem store whilst also giving you some free heroes to start off with like Logan Thackeray and Koss Dejarin?”

Me 2; “That wouldn’t work, why would anyone buy a new hero when they have all the traits and skills on the hero they already have? And it would take ages to implement, they would literally have to make a special Ui for that mode alone”

Me 1; “What if only one character had access to a certain weapon? or Ai characters can’t weapon swap? It would reduce the amount of things a players has to monitor and control and give players a reason to buy more heroes. I don’t think the length of time it takes to make something that could potentially be fun should be a detriment to actually making it.”

Me 2; “Reducing the amount of things players have to pay attention to/factor in is nice but giving only one hero access to one weapon sounds a bit money grubby.”

Me 1: “The thing is, tactics-wise people will buy two heroes of the same profession if they want to try out a certain tactic. So maybe limiting access to weapons between characters is a bad idea but definitely, removing weapon swapping for Ai characters will definitely reduce ‘control bloatage’.”

Me 2: “But how will dodging work though? This isn’t GW1 where you can face-tank everything and don’t you think confusion/ AoEs would be the most powerful thing to use in these types of scenarios? Seeing as Ai just generally loves to spam”

Me 1: "You make a good point about the dodging but thinking about it, they have that Ai already in those profession NPCs in the mists, they tend to dodge most multi-hit skills and even dodge right after they are stunned. So that could be something.

About the AoE/Confusion spam, I think that’s all in the hand of the player. Are they able to make their team retreat and stop attacking when they get deadly stacks of confusion? or Will they let their team die due to to the AoE/Confusion spam?"

Me 2: “What’s stopping me from running 5 Necros?”

Me 1: “The fact that I can run 5 Stun Warriors?”

Me 2: “Indeed”

The End.

So now I bring this discussion to you guys. What do you think of Hero Battles? Do you even like the idea of Hero Battles? I know there are several problems currently in the game that you’d like to see fixed before they bring anything else in but, this is just for the expansion of modes that we’ve all been clamoring for. So, let me know in the comments.
